What is the definition of gravitation potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
ioda3 years ago

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

#1 explain why there is no such thing as a quick and easy way to lose weight.
kumpel [21]

Exercise is a vigorous activity that tends to help us to burn calories and loose weight in the process.

<h3>What is exercise?</h3>

Exercise is a vigorous activity that tends to help us to burn calories and loose weight in the process. There is no quick way to loose weight because the calories were added on gradually and must also be lost gradually.

Before and after photos does not show the loss in calories. This can only be determined by measurement.

Before you buy exercise equipment;

  • Ensure that the equipment meets your unique needs
  • Ensure that you can afford it
  • Ensure that you have enough space to contain the equipment

An example of an exercise equipment is a stationary bicycle. It works when you sit or stand on it and cycle repeatedly though it doesn't move. I am skeptical about it because it may not help you burn a lot of calories except you use it for long periods of time.

What is the reason behind superposition?why waves behave this way?
marshall27 [118]

Explanation:

Most waves appear complex because they result from two or more simple waves that combine as they come together at the same place at the same time—a phenomenon called superposition. Waves superimpose by adding their disturbances; each disturbance corresponds to a force, and all the forces add

John ( body mass= 65 kg) is taking off for a long jump . Horizontal accerleration ax is 5m/s^2 and vertical acceleration ay is 0
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(a) The horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b)  The vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)   The resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N

Explanation:  

Given

John mass , m = 65 kg

Horizontal acceleration , a_x= 5.0 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Vertical acceleration , a_y=0.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

(a) Using Newton's 2nd law in horizontal direction

F_{g,x}=ma_x

=>F_{g,x}=65\times 5\, N=325\, N

Thus the horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b) Using Newton's 2nd law in vertical direction

F_{g,y}-mg=ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=mg+ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=65\times (9.81+0.9)\, N=696\, N

Thus the vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)  Resultant ground reaction force is

F_g=(F_{g,x}^{2}+F_{g,y}^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}

=>F_g=(325^{2}+696^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\, N=768\, N

=>F_g=768\, N

Thus  the resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N
